Just when nearly everyone in the chattering class was writing off Hillary and her supposedly faltering campaign, Sen. Clinton wins in New Hampshire.
Only yesterday, the polls showed a widening Obama surge. The voters were telling the pollsters that the Illinois senator was their man. Political blogs said Hillary and her campaign were in a panic mode, ready to concede New Hampshire and try again elsewhere.
What a difference an actual election makes. Against all odds, Hillary pulled out a big win.
We have no insight into the minds of New Hampshire voters, but we like it when the citizens defy expectations. Stand by, folks: this could get interesting.

To account for Hillary's unexpectedly strong showing, the redoubtable blogger Digby hypothesizes "'The Tweety Effect,' where the misogyny of a talking head in the MSM so enrages a demographic that they go out and vote in a manner that will put egg on the face of the talking head."
